Nasal polyps and smell loss study
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at why people with nasal polyps lose their sense of smell and how it might come back. You may be able to join if you have had nasal blockage, runny nose, smell loss, or facial pain for at least 12 weeks, have polyps seen inside your nose, and are using a steroid spray regularly.

This study looks at how bacteria in the nose relate to a type of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help find better treatments for this condition.
This study collects information from people with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps in both nostrils. By tracking patients over time, researchers hope to learn more about the condition and how to improve care.
This study is looking at how the brain processes smells in people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps who have a reduced sense of smell. It will compare brain images (MRI) of patients who are starting biologic treatment and those who are not, to understand how these medications might affect the brain.
This study looks for certain markers in your blood and nasal tissue that may be linked to chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to more targeted treatments in the future.
This study looks at how thick or thin your nasal fluids are and checks for certain allergy/immune cells in your nose during surgery. It helps doctors understand the type of inflammation you have, which may guide better treatments.
This trial tests an injectable drug called TQC2731 for people with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps that haven't been controlled well enough by standard treatments like steroid sprays or surgery. The goal is to see if it helps reduce nasal congestion, improve sense of smell, and shrink polyps.
